Thought for the Day

Time is not our enemy, nor is it a hostile place from which we must flee. It is a meeting place, a point of rendezvous with God...To know time as gift is to know that its basic rhythms and inevitable passing are beyond our control. And to know time as gift is to recognize time as the setting within which we also receive God's other gifts, including the fruits of nature and the companionship of one another.
--Dorothy C. Bass, Receiving the Day
